We Know, F = m*a
Here, m = 59 Kg
a = 9.75 m/s²

Substitute their values in the expression,
F = 59*9.75
F = 575.25 Kg.m/s²

So, your final answer is 575.25 N

Hope this helps!

Answer : $F=5.8\times 10^2\ Newtons$ amount of force is required to push a sofa.

Explanation :

It is given that,

The mass of sofa, m = 59 kg

Acceleration, $a=9.75\ m/s^2$

According to Newton's second law of motion :

F = ma

m is the mass and a is the acceleration produced.

$F=59\ kg\times 9.75\ m/s^2$

F = 575.25 Newtons

$F=5.75\times 10^2\ Newtons$

or

$F=5.8\times 10^2\ Newtons$

Hence, this is the required solution.

An object is thrown with an initial speed v near the surface of Earth. Assume that air resistance is negligible and the gravitat

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

E. downward and constant

Explanation:

Freefall is a special case of motion with constant acceleration because the acceleration due to gravity is always constant and downward. This is true even when an object is thrown upward or has zero velocity.

For example, when a ball is thrown up in the air, the ball's velocity is initially upward. Since gravity pulls the object toward the earth with a constant acceleration ggg, the magnitude of velocity decreases as the ball approaches maximum height. At the highest point in its trajectory, the ball has zero velocity, and the magnitude of velocity increases again as the ball falls back toward the earth.

During metamorphism, what is the major effect of chemically active fluids?

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Option b

Explanation:

Metamorphism is the process where the variation of the geological texture resulting from the different arrangement of the minerals or the variation of minerals in protoliths, i.e., pre- existing rocks take place such that there occurs no change in state of the protolith, i.e., it does not melt into magma.

The change takes place as a result of the presence of chemically active fluids, heat and pressure.

There is a reaction between the chemically active fluid and the rock through which it passes and promotes the movement of the dissolved ions of silicate and promotes the growth of the mineral grains.

Two small aluminum spheres, each of mass 0.0250 kilograms, areseparated by 80.0 centimeters.

sineoko [7]

Answer:

Total number of electrons

$N = 7.25 \times 10^{24}$

electrons removed from each sphere

$N = 5.27 \times 10^{15}$

Fraction of electrons transferred is given as

$f = 7.27 \times 10^{-10}$

Explanation:

As we know that moles is defined as

$n =\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

$n = \frac{0.0250}{0.026982}$

$n = 0.93$

so number of atoms of Al in each sphere is given as

$N = 0.93(6.02 \times 10^{23})$

$N = 5.58 \times 10^{23}$

Now number of electrons in each atom is given as

atomic number = number of electrons in each atom = 13

total number of electrons in each sphere is

$N = 13 \times (5.58 \times 10^{23})$

$N = 7.25 \times 10^{24}$

Also we know that force of attraction between them is given as

$F= \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

$1.00 \times 10^4 = \frac{(9\times 10^9)q^2}{0.80^2}$

$q = 8.4 \times 10^{-4} C$

now we have

$q = Ne$

$8.4 \times 10^{-4} = N(1.6 \times 10^{-19}$

$N = \frac{(8.4 \times 10^{-4})}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}$

$N = 5.27 \times 10^{15}$

Fraction of electrons transferred is given as

$f = \frac{5.27 \times 10^{15}}{7.25 \times 10^{24}}$

$f = 7.27 \times 10^{-10}$

Two identical balls are at rest and side by side at the top of a hill. You let one ball, A, start rolling down the hill. A littl

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Option b. it has the same position and the same acceleration as A

Explanation:

Let's analyze every statement:

a. it has the same position and the same velocity as A

In the instant where B passes A, they Do have the same position. Velocity however, cannot be the same because if they were, ball B would never pass ball A. So, this is false.

b. it has the same position and the same acceleration as A

As we said in the previous option, the position is the same. The acceleration is gravity for both balls, so this is true.

c. it has the same velocity and the same acceleration as A

Acceleration is the same but velocities are not, so this is false.

d. it has the same displacement and the same velocity as A

The distance they have traveled is the same, so the displacement is the same, but the velocity is not, so this is false.

e. it has the same position, displacement and velocity as A

The position and displacement is the same but not velocity, so this is false.

Only option b is true.

grandymaker [24]

Effect of temperature.

"If the temperature of the substance is increased then the rate of chemical reaction is also increased because the kinetic energy is greater."

Effect of surface area.

"If the surface area is increased then the rate of reaction is increased because there will be more active sites for the reaction to occur.
